First person to say that they are holding out for snacks. Finally someone who agrees!!!
Dang. I'm the weak link. Thank you for the reality check. This video so helpful.
…I feel called out
🤣🤣
My cocker will skip days. So I tried making meals of people food and she would refuse that until I locked her in the kennel until she was done. Yet she will not eat if I didn’t make it good enough. So I am frustrated now because it is always a battle
I am the weak link. He’s got me so trained and I get so stressed that I just up the ante and give him something else that’s better. He won’t eat his prescription food and so I kept changing it. Then he was getting all sorts of tummy problems. Ran him through a load of tests and all came back unremarkable. So the vet told me that I need to put the food down, wait 10 mins, then take it away. No treats, no nothing until the next feeding. This is sooooo hard to do but I promise I will stay consistent this time. I can do this!
O.M.G. I've been trained. 🤦♀️OK. I get it.
Very helpful! Thank you-I am so relieved
Thank you so much you just answered all my questions for 4 years I've been doing research my dog is the boss of me she trained me oh my question has been answered
Thank you so much for this! It's reassuring and truth
Who told you what I was doing just kidding you hit the nail on the head thanks so much I'm gonna give this a try l.
They are only picky because they have a choice
Thanks for this insightful Video. We have a Shih Tzu named Mr Teddy Bundy that we rescued 2 years ago, He's just over 3 years old now. A week ago he was having trouble defecating & not eating. Earliest Vet appointment was the following morning. Overnight he chewed open his right Anal Sac. The Vet examined and treated Teddy (sent us home with a Pain Rx that he had an adverse reaction to) and recommended that we get a Cone of Shame for him. Teddy still not eating or defacating the following morning and bad reaction lessened overnight (I chose to discontinue the Pain Rx), we returned to the Vet and dropped him off. we got a call that he was healing fine and that they wanted our permission to try giving him some wet food (which he devoured). We took a couple of cans home with us which he also has devoured one can (half at a time with several hours between servings / second half can mixed in with his Dry Food which he picked out and did't eat). He finally is defecating normally but still refusing to eat his Royal Canin Shih Tzu Dry Food that has been his sole Diet fro more than 2 years. This morning just before Noon, I tried mixing his Dry Food with a Raw Egg, he devoured the Egg and licked the Kibbles Clean. I plan on holding out as you've suggested at least until the following day... Does Dr. Sammy or anyone else have any suggestions to overcome Teddy's will power to hold out? Update: this afternoon (following day) Mr Bundy gave in and began eating his dry food. Randy AKA randog311
Ditch the crap highly processed kibble and prepare your dog quality home cook fresh meat,veg,eggs,fish,sweet potoato ect!kibble is not good for your dog it's convenience food that's why so many dogs have so many health issues same as humans that eat junk food become ill...
Omg thank you!
Thanks for this my cockapoo is being a little terror and won’t eat his food but yet will eat snacks
That's how my dog is. So I know he will eat. That's how I know it's being picky, not a health problem necessarily.
I have two mini golden doodle’s. The person we got them from told us that the one puppy was the runt. We have so much trouble getting her to eat she is 6 months old. She is skin and bones. She will eat treats and pretty much very little food.
Get some goats milk. It's great for them and their gut health. At least you know she's going to be getting nutrition while you figure out the solution.
My mini dachshund is picky as hell! I literally have 7 dry foods down right now and she won't touch a thing. Her wet food, she will go truth stages. One kind one week, another kind the next week, etc etc.... 99% of treats she despises. Honestly sometimes she's a nightmare at food time. Kind of at my wits end.... she typically will eat at least once per day, if in lucky, and that takes a lot of manipulations on my part. She seems super normal. Poops normal, pees normal.... Just would love it if she would stick to one type of food. Tried farmers, won't eat it btw.... As i said, she acts super normal. Not losing weight.... She's just a brat at meal time.... Really need some insight from someone....
What I am worried about is my dog become thinner because of being a picky eater. If I will let her not eat for several days she will become more thin. Could I ask your opinion about that?
My dog can and has gone days without eating. He is skinny too. Im so sick of it. Dont know what to do? Tried every type of food and protein.
Thank you for this video! 😡 I'm the problem (no table food). i have cats, and she tends to eat their wet food (raw diet) left overs.
I've spent a few 100 dollars on different types of food, and thanks to you, I now know the real issue.
I never understand people saying their dogs are picky. If they get hungry enough they will eat anything.
He easily goes 18 hours without eating anything lol
@@mirbear72 but he eats after 18 hours? He can live not eating for q8 or more hours lol!😂
@@sassysandie2865 yeah because I give in 😅 8 and 18 are very different amounts of time.
The food goes bad or they will purposely make a huge mess you've just haven't come across a super stubborn pup yet
Yes
man i am guilty ... i am the weakest link.
but i have learned and im learning.
going thru this with Ebike (my pit) now.
lately he's been picky and it's my fault ...giving him some of my food.
learning to leave his dog food out for 15 minutes,
and if he doesn’t touch it... back in the fridge til next meal time.
it's hard to watch, but I know it's for the best ... for both us.
we BOTH gotta be re-trained.

What do I do if it’s messy children not purposefully feeding scraps. Also it’s causing food aggression between 2 dogs.
Ok but what if you have a very large breed puppy who will go like 4 days without eating? Then maybe eat like half 1/4 a serving and go back to not eating for another 4 days. Even without giving scraps. Even after withholding treats and chews. Even after adding bone broth or cheese or move on to cooking fresh food and then still that's not up to snuff. And then what if she's 20lbs behind in her growth?
Someone please answer this
mine is same
Question for doc - you say all you have to do is “look” for cancer and that everything seems normal because nothing showed up in bloodwork - what is the method used to look for cancer?
My dog vomits when it doesn't eat, she always has since I got her. She is currently not eating, or holding out for something better but vomits as a result. Is it still okay to hold out? Or should I try to find dog food that tastes better?
Same with my dog. He mostly just eat chicken and rice with carrots

Ok, it’s day 3, the battle of wills is strong. I need to stay off of the internet because it is making me weaken but I know if I give in I will never win and I’ll be stuck again. Just to be clear, if he is acting normal just keep training?
Even 4 month old puppies?
What if she’s 9 weeknpuppy ?
My brother's dog comes to me and plays with my dog..has the time of her life..i feed her homecooked meal... when she goes back she stops eating..but feed her because she is so thin..
I just got a teddy bear from a shop and he didn’t eat for two days, and is only 9 weeks old. I’m having to mix baby food into the kibble just to get him to get a few grains down. Very frustrating.
Any luck ?
My puppy wouldn't eat kibble and actually I don't blame them! Even top quality stuff is dried, highly processed food. I switched him to raw and he loves it!
My problem with my Maltese is that if she skips a meal she starts to vomit bile so I can’t allow her to skip a meal. I feed her in the morning and evening. I’m the only feeder and have to pull a rabbit from a hat in creating something she likes. I mix something like pumpkin with her dry kibbles to attract her, then she licks of every kibble🫣 as an example, or she just gets totally board with the taste and I have to invent something else. I guess my problem is that I can’t ignore when she skips a meal due to the vomiting and are forced to give something else or feed her from my hand!
I think this is a maltese problem- mine only wants to eat food thats cooked- i have to look up dog recipes like a mad woman.
Run diagnostics and make sure you're not missing an underlying problem. Every patient is different and some require small frequent meals throughout the day.... anxiety, stress, reflux issues
Same here. My dachshund is extremely stubborn. He’s a senior, he needs frequent meals in order not to vomit bile (his blood work is fine, but we’ve battled pancreatitis for 2 years, finally his values came out perfect), but he just won’t eat his food and he vomits and then out of my fear of him puking I pamper him and it’s a very vicious circle!
@@Missireriwow same here
Yes my problem is my parents lol i give my dog only her food but they keep giving her food of the table almost every lunch and i just cant make them stop
Same here my mom dont listen lol she think my dog will suffer lol
I’m guilty of that too😅 we just can’t resist those eyes 🥹
So True.. Thank you. LOL
Im guilty of this, but now my 6 month old schnauzer doesn’t want to eat dog food or human food. He only wants treats and drinks lots of water. When no treats are given, he doesn’t eat and throws up liquid. Idk what else to do, I’ve tried different types of food 😭. In need of help
try the vet :)
Give him goat's milk. It's very good for them overall and especially good for their gut health. I'm in the same situation because I gave treats as a reward for him going potty. Then made things even worse by giving him cooked chicken and steak. Now he refuses his kibble and yesterday he threw up white foam. Time for tough love.
What about diabetic dogs? My dog is totally waiting for something better but I can't let her skip meals

What if my husky will eat chicken or other meat but he refuses to eat kibble
I’m the guilty one my Siberian husky is very picky but she doesn’t eat just any table food either she eats chicken she doesn’t like any fruit or vegetables no rice or anything she’ll eat certain cheeses it’s just weird when I’d notice she wasn’t eating but wouldn’t try to eat much of the table food either I thought it was weird so even to make her healthy dog food is hard and I’ve bought her every kind of dog food out there she doesn’t like it sometimes she’ll eat the freeze dried merick dog food but that’s about it
I'd be a picky eater too if I was forced to eat dry whole wheat bran cereal day in and day out. I'd rather starve than eat that.
My dog is picky with kibble she will eat a few bites and then stop, but if we add fresh food like farmers dog she will just eat the fresh stuff. Any advice
Pick one.
Feed her fresh food :)
You've just answered your own question!,ditch the highly processed crap kibble...cookfresh meat,veg,eggs,sweet potato sardines quality tasty food not rubbish!
My 6 month old Chihuahua likes to eat chicken or beef and not his dry food.
duh!
I have a 2yr old Husky and he is not eating only treats
Same! I’m going nuts!
It was hard to figure it out what does he likes. 😢
Its really not funny when your trying to feed your best friend also your right, my pup only likes certain human food cause i guess weve trained each other. He will not eat any dog food!!. Is it that bad he wont eat it.
My puppy, the talented person 😅,
Only eats biscuits, & Chicken ., Sometimes milk .
That's his meal , what can I do , he's not even trying to eat normal food ,, he is not eating sufficient to fulfill his meal.
Eats Meat , don't let it remain for a minute .
But can't give him that daily 😢
I feed table scraps and never dry dog food
Dogs live 18/21 years
Dogs on dry bag dog food/ 5/7 years average 😢
hello there YT video watching people
I have a pomsky and is maddening how picky he is.....must be meat. If your dog is a picky eater I suggest watching the movie "Little Shop of Horrors"....lol
How then, do you retrain your own mom?
Some people baby there pets way too much thats the problem they give in. And even if the pup or pet is behaving bad will give them kisses and tell them good boy and say oh he doesnt know any better blah blah blah pet food is expensive also. Hard headed stubborn people are the WEAK links.
